"A superb Chenin, crafted with brilliance and precision"

“Made from grapes grown on 2.8 hectares of gray clay soils, the 2023 Montlouis Sec Cuvée Touche Mitane offers a fresh, luscious bouquet of candied citrus, white peach, menthol, and spring flowers. Moderately full-bodied and elegant, it is juicy, with lively acidity and a long, enticing finish.” (Robert Parker 2025).

Rated estate (2027 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

A native of the Oise region, Xavier Weisskopf established his vineyard (17 hectares of organic vineyards) in 2005. Nothing seemed to point him toward this career, but his studies in Chablis introduced him to the world of wine, which led him to the “Viti” in Beaune, then to Gigondas, and finally to the banks of the Loire. One of the very best estates in Touraine.

Rated estate (2027 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

The Le Rocher des Violettes estate was founded in 2005 by Xavier Weisskofp. It consists of plots of land that at the time belonged to several local farmers. Xavier Weisskofp worked in the Rhône Valley before moving to the Loire Valley. The Le Rocher des Violettes estate initially comprised 6 hectares of vineyards. The winemaker comes from a family of farmers. He discovered winemaking in Chablis at age 18 while studying agriculture and specialized in viticulture the following year. Fifty percent of the production is destined for high-end restaurants and wine shops, and just under 10 percent is sold to private customers. Since 2008, the Le Rocher des Violettes estate has been producing organic wine.

Review and rating by Mr. JEROME M. Posted on March 27, 2026

Rather disappointing. On the nose, fruit aromas and a few hints of honeycomb. Unfortunately, on the palate, it’s an austere wine with vegetal aromas (not uncommon in Chenin wines depending on the vintage, especially 2023), but here they’re a bit too pronounced. Paired with a cheese soufflé, the vegetal notes stand out tremendously and are very off-putting and unpleasant. In short, nothing to write home about, no pleasure to be found. It’s a shame—without this unpleasant dominance, you can tell the wine would have a whole other dimension.
